After being taken out of the water, they learned he was from Janesville and a slip holder at the Racine Yacht Club.

No foul play is suspected at this time. The man’s name is being withheld because it is considered an ongoing investigation and family notifications still need to be made.

“The Racine County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Schmaling would like to express our condolences to the family of the deceased individual,” the press release reads.
